7201 Adware On Install ?

Here is an entry on Malwarebytes support forum. I'm betting these are false positives from a recent Malwarebytes update. Probably malwarebytes/Spywareblaster entry FPs. Some others reporting it, no mention of them using Win 7 at all.

Are These FP's? - Malwarebytes Forum

What I suspected. FP's with Spywareblaster entries.

Just an update.


The false positives have been fixed in the latest Malwarebytes update. if you update MB, you can scan again and it won't pick it up.

They're just Spywareblaster entries being picked up as false positives. No danger.

Also NEVER EVER run those programs that offer to scan your registry or fix your drivers from a Browser.

This is the EASIEST way ever of getting an infected system. If you must run these wretched type of programs (they are usually sneakware -- you get things like problems found but you need to "upgrade" to a PRO (i.e PAY) version to use the feature you want) run then stand alone first (i.e from an .EXE file having scanned it carefully first).

I wholeheartedly concur.
Almost every 'warning' of that kind is usually a Trojan in disguise.
